WHITE OAK

White Oak is a light to medium brown with an olive like cast. It maintains a straight, coarse grain and the texture tends to be uneven but the wood is strong, beautiful, and easy to work with. Widely used in cabinet and furniture making and flooring. White Oak’s durability and rot resistance also make it sought after in boat building and tight cooperage applications.
